The British Drift Championship

Our decision to sponsor the British Drift Championship 2018 is one that we are extremely proud of here at Funk Motorsport. Having dealt with many heat issues of suffering competition drifters in recent years, it made perfect sense for us to join Dave Egan and the team for the 10th British Drift Championship season. Our small team of Heat Management experts are here to advise, support and supply the best thermal solutions, while constantly adapting and developing our brand to meet the needs of elite competition. We strive for perfection here at Funk Motorsport and the British Drift Championship share our vision. Let the drifting begin!
